In July, the state's Republican governor, Doug Ducey, signed into law a measure making it illegal to record video within eight feet of where “law enforcement activity is occurring.” In other words, the law allows police to arrest you for taking video of them, even if you're videoing them as they break the law.

I heard about this! It’s a very worrisome law, especially since it violates the first amendment. Even more so if other states copy this, since public trust in police isn’t very high. An Eight foot radius seems reasonable, though it’s almost certainly going to be abused.
